Leveling kit 2nd gen. ('09 4x4 2.7L access cab)

I just got my 2009 tacoma in May and instantly put a new set of Hankook Dynapro ATM p265/70R16. I'm not interested in doing any crazy lifts or even changing tire size, however, I'm not rear happy with how low the front end sits. I've been looking around at various leveling kits and just end up confused. I just simply want to level the front with the rear and not make it all Baja style. I need suggestions on a good yet wallet friendly brand, and also suggestion on wether I should go with 1",1.5",2",2.25",2.5"....etc. BTW in due time I would love to get my hands on the stock FJ trail edition wheels. Thank you guys for you expert opinions.

 

anyone will tell you that this is a hundred threads on this already, but i don't like when i search for this stuff and the response is "it's already been posted"

To level your truck from stock the most popular option is the bilsteins 5100 adjustable shocks (front shocks). They can lift your front end with different settings at ''.85 ''1.75 or ''2.5 or no lift. To know what will make you level you want to look and see if you have had the TSB leaf added. If there is 4 leafs in the rear then you have the tsb, and will want to use the 1.75 setting, if you only have 3 leafs (like me), you will be closer to level at the .85 setting. since these are minute increments their affect on the suspension will vary from truck to truck. also a spacer is made to be used on the driver's side to prevent sag, and it's usually reccommended when you go aftermarket on your suspension.


good luck.
